It’s in your food supply. It affects your health. The Fed Chairman does it. Robin Hood did it. Dying people must deal with it. The 1% get their share but so do single Moms. You can find it in merit scholarships. It was behind the Cold War. It pits the old against the young and [...]
This was a sign from the Occupation movement in Los Angeles. The top of the sign reads “15 years ago we had” (Photo by Harlin Kahn) When the Arab Spring populist movement came about, it was not only about changing the type of government but also about jobs. This translates to a demand for a [...]
Europe is on the brink. They’re goin’ down. No wait. They can contain it. We’re okay for now. Gee, it’s only Greece. No wait. It may spread to Spain and Italy.

Re-imagining Money as a Fair Tender There is a quote by William Faulkner that “History isn’t dead; it’s not even past.” There is a lot of talk that with the U.S. national debt where it is, this unsustainable level will bring the U.S. and its currency down.
